2027 — Technologies of the Commons

Under the theme “Technologies of the Commons”, the second edition builds on the inaugural gathering held in Bogotá in 2026. It proposes a collective review to identify what sustains these practices over time, what institutional conditions they require and how they can be brought together in shared agendas. Academic, professional and community knowledge come together on equal terms to outline a collaborative work agenda.
